Two of the sixteen lifeboats went back to find survivors. They found 9 people in the water but only 6 survived. The first boat, Lifeboat 4, pulled 5 people from the water but two died in the boat. The second boat, Lifeboat 14, found 4 survivors, but one died in the lifeboat.
When asked why they did not go back sooner to help people, Officer Harold Lowe, who headed Lifeboat 14, said "it would have been suicide to go back there until the people had thinned out." He was afraid that those drowning would have overturned or swamped the lifeboat.
Including passengers and crew, there were 2,208 people onboard. 1,503 people died, leaving 705 survivors. Only 962 lifeboat seats were required by law, though the Titanic's lifeboats could have held 1,178. There were 472 lifeboat seats that went unused.

These ships relayed messages to other ships and to camp race.

How were the people resuced in the Titanic?
After the Titanic had completely submerged, the lifeboats with the people on board had traveled away but some came back to try and find some of the survivors just like near the end of the Titanic movie, but when a ship came by to collect bodies and investigate everyone had already died of hypothermia and froze to death or drowned. Very few people were saved from the waters, the only survivors survived when they got onto the lifeboats as it was sinking and only partially underwater.
